lyrics

Our solipsistic lyricist’s
An unstrategic analyst
With our own Yoko Ono, who knows
What buttons to push
To bring it round,
You’re the clown,
We all know who’s wearing the crown now

We all worship Satan.

When you were 10
Your mother said,
If [friend x] jumped off a cliff,
What would you do?
Would you jump too?
She didn’t raise her child to be a fool.

It’s an awful world,
Forever you could wander blind,
It’s an awful world,
But I will lead you if you become mine.
